To Do: Visit the General Grant National Memorial

What: Visit the General Grant National Memorial

Proposed Date: Saturday, May 19th

Summary: The tomb of President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia. Also the source of a really stupid riddle -- don't fall for it!

Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb?
This is an old joke to which the answer is no one. Our eighteenth president and his wife are, however, entombed here. Made of 8,000 tons of granite, with Massachusetts marble for the floors and fine Italian marble for the railings and trimmings, Grant's Tomb sits high above the Hudson River in the midst of a beautiful park. It was once one of the most popular attractions in New York City, although it rarely attracts much of a crowd today.

The weather here has been so great lately that there's positively no reason not to go. I may also hit up the Cathedral of St. John the Divine while I'm in the neighborhood.
